SECTION A
Q1. Read the case study given below and answer the following questions: (1x5=5)

When monosubstituted benzene is subjected to further substitution, three possible

disubstituted products are not formed in equal amount. Two types of behaviour are
observed. Either ortho and para products or meta product is predominantly formed. It
has also been observed that this behaviour depends on the nature of the substituent
already present in the benzene ring and not on the nature of the entering group. This is
known as directive influence of substituents. The group that direct the incoming group
to ortho and para position are called ortho and para directing group. In resonating
structure of phenol electron density is more on -o and -p positions . hence the
substitution take place mainly at these positions. Nitro group reduces the electron the
electron density in the benzene ring due to its strong -I effect. So it is called deactivating
group.

In the following [Link].17-20, a statement of Assertion followed by a statement of Reason is
given. Choose the correct answer out of the following choices: (1x5=5)
a) Assertion and Reason both are correct and reason is correct explanation of the
assertion
b) Assertion and reason both are correct but reason is not the correct explanation of
the assertion
c) Assertion is correct but reason is incorrect statement.
 d) Assertion is incorrect but reason is correct statement.
Q17. Assertion: Electromagnetic waves can move in vacuum
Reason : they do not require a medium to propagate
Q18. Assertion: Electron gain enthalpy become less negative as we go down a group.
Reason: size of the atom increases on going down the group and added electron
would be farther from the nucleus.
Q19. Assertion: Though the central atom of both NH3 and H2O molecules are sp3 hybridized,
yet H-N-H bond angle is greater than that of H-O-H
Reason: This is because nitrogen atom has one lone pair and oxygen atom has two
lone pairs.
Q20. Assertion : A liquid crystallises into a solid and is accompanied by decrease in entropy.
Reason: In crystals molecules organise in an ordered manner.
Q21. Assertion: For any chemical reaction at a particular temperature, the equilibrium
constant is fixed and is a characteristic property.
Reason: Equilibrium constant is independent of temperature.
